Rookie Posted February 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2022 Today I am back to working and I have a few things I need to catch up on / do for life in general. The main thing will be picking up my prescription. - Call to refill my prescription - Pick up prescription - Get groceries - Pay farrier - Go to bank to get board + deworming money - Pay board Tonight I am planning on going to go see Daisy ❤️ I don't plan on riding but I do want to get her some exercise so we will see if I can just lunge her instead. I need to check all 3 kids blankets to make sure they aren't cold and if I have the time/energy I would like to groom Gren and Sizzle and give them both some exercise as well. My sister still hasn't been at the barn for about 2 weeks because my mom and her got sick and she's worried he will be too much of a handful with that much time off. 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted March 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Maaaaaaaay have over done it yesterday haha. But it was nice to see the horses and my best barn friend. Sizzle saw me then did a O_O and walked over to me to bite me and get pets lol. Gren appreciated the attention I think and I let him stretch his legs. He's a silly boy but a good boy. Then was Miss Daisys turn and I really just love her calm energy ❤️ She's definitely different than the other two. I gave her all the scratches then I hopped on her and we just walked around a bit. It was a nice night. I was having trouble falling asleep last night. Whenever I lay down I get a bit congested. Eventually I fell asleep and it was a good sleep though my alarm ruined it lol. In my dream, I remember trying to make soup with Mr.R and there kept being an alarm going off so I would go to this button the wall to press it to turn it off and it just wouldn't turn off. I remember complaining about it in the dream lol. I'm not really a person who can sleep in but I feel I would of been able to today (hence me thinking I overdid it yesterday) and it would of been glorious but I have to work T_T so I am mourning the sleep in that didn't happen. The plan for after work is to pick up my prescription, work on golden pony and that's about it. Golden pony is going well. I feel we are getting reaching completion. As far as challenge.... I haven't started tracking again yet and I haven't been practicing my 2 'get up and move' breaks. I figure I can start that up next week. 6 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

But I parked in the driveway and went straight to the couch lol I let roomy unload the car and put it all away which is my least favourite part. 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

I finished work early yesterday so I could lay down a bit before the barn. 1 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
Rookie Posted March 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 Yesterday around 3pm ish I started feeling a.. not tightness but heaviness in my chest? Probably from coughing. So I told my boss I was going to go lay down for a bit and he said to just finish early. After laying down for 30 mins, I worked on the golden pony and now I just need to varnish him then he is done. I am supposed to drop him off on Wednesday. I went to the barn after and let Sizzle stretch her legs ... dang that little pony is crazy and clearly was dying to get out for a run. I then attempted to chop off some of her extra fluff and give her a really good groom. Insert clip of Simba from Lion King being groomed by his mom and hating every moment of it lol. Afterwards I got Daisy out, gave her a less vigorous grooming then I hopped on for a few laps around the arena at a walk. She seemed to be in a good mood. She was extra excited about her food too which was super cute lol Unfortunately her cough is back about 90%... I wasn't able to give her her supplement at all last week that is supposed to help with coughing... so I am hoping it will start to kick in but really that is an experiment in itself since she only is getting it 3 days a week and ideally she would be getting it every day. After the barn I took a nice hot shower, had some dinner and drew out my next painting before bed. Tonight I am trying 2 new recipes. Chicken burger patties and quinoa salad. Mr.R is wanting to eat "simpler" clean foods for a couple weeks so this is to give him a break from his rice, veggie and chicken breast. While I am working on that I will probably make the soup I meant to make 2 days ago. Also sometime this evening I might end up driving roomy so he can pick up some soil for seedlings... He asked me to pick it up when I go grocery shopping next but I kind of don't want to lol So if I feel up to it today I will just drive him and if not I guess I will be getting some tomorrow after the barn. Afterwards, I will probably just relax the rest of the evening. Maybe do a bit of painting...maybe watch some Naruto while playing Pokémon. Honestly I didn't sleep the best and I feel ready for a nap right now haha. 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted March 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Chicken burgers and quinoa salad were a success! I didn’t end up making the soup because chopping stuff for the salad took longer than I expected. But I did drive roomy to Walmart 👍 I mostly played Pokémon and watched Naruto tonight but I took a bit before bed to paint and I made fantastic progress. I need to fix the body it’s too short and awkward but I’m really excited for this one. Spoiler 7 1 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted March 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Hey everyone, Food has been a bit off the rails lately. So I am trying to bring it back in but I am not sure if I feel ready to start tracking yet (which probably means I should). This weekend I did pretttty much nothing which made me feel like a useless blob. Especially since food choices weren't the best. I am battling between feeling a bit overwhelmed with stuff that needs to happen (in the house, life, weight loss) and not wanting to do anything. I have been feeling more or less better aside from having to clear my throat / cough and I don't get completely exhausted when doing things anymore. That being said I have been taking it fairly easy. Even with riding I have more or less just been hopping on and walking a few laps then getting off. Friday I rode Daisy for our walking laps. I attempted some trot but it was flaring up her cough and my knee was kind of hurting. Then I rode my sisters horse Gren... who hasn't been ridden in at least 2 weeks so he was a bundle of energy. He makes me a bit nervous to ride haha but hes generally safe .. just very different from Daisy. I did more trot work on him because he wanted to trot and because he is more forward and feels smoother so my knee did not hurt riding him. I am low key considering riding him in my lesson tonight. Yesterday in an attempt to feel a bit productive I made the minestrone soup for lunches this week, went through some mail, did the first varnish coat on golden pony painting and mostly put the cot and cot mattress away. I think it helped a bit. I feel a bit better today and I want to make a list of annoyances that are effecting me the most right now so I can maybe get a few of them done. And I need to make this weeks meal plan. Last week Mr.R decided maybe we can have mostly "clean" meals and some "special meals". Basically special meals have cheese in them or might be more fatty / calorie dense. So I am trying to think of other lunch and dinner ideas. He doesn't love stir fries but I might try to introduce some more in because it is easy and healthy. As I mentioned about to toracorbat, I might end up restarting the newest horse painting. I do like where it is going so far but I also feel the horse is too small for the canvas. Because of this I haven't worked on it again. Recent annoyances: - random craft supplies from halloween in box on ground - stray jars on counter - dusty book case in room - folding table still out - laundry shelf isn't finished being organized 4 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment

Rookie Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Oh man. That riding lesson was exactly what I needed. I am in such a good mood today (I hope it lasts). The lesson itself didn't go great lol but I just find that amusing. My coach set up literally the easiest exercise possible to ease us back into our lessons. But somebody was VERY energetic lol which meant she was strong, heavy and being a nut lol. The exercise was literally just a pole on the ground that we had to circle over. Daisy was full on jumping it at some peoples lol she is all the drama. She's lucky she is so cute ... she makes me laugh. I am so sore today as if I did a full body workout yesterday but my mood is light ❤️ <- Daisy... FASTASFUCKBOOIIIIIIIIII This horse is something special lol. My friend was laughing because she saw the end of the lesson where she was a fire breathing dragon then like 5 minutes after she was back to napping and the chillest horse in the world. I am happy to also report that I didn't feel any leftover covid exhaustion/tired lungs from my ride. That is a big positive. My knee did hurt in the beginning but after it warmed up (or numbed?) it seemed fine. I might research new stirrup leathers or stirrups to see if that helps. There are ones that are wider that are supposed to help with stability which helps with your knee. Todays Plans: - Pick up dog food - Make Chicken Gyro Coucous Bowls for dinner - 2nd varnish coat on golden pony - Work on Monty painting 5 Quote {Chase the wind and touch the sky; I will fly} Link to comment
